Just lately my body seems to have changed....I am smaller on the top and I have small legs...I have a big spare tire around my middle that seems to look worse since I lost some weight......All of a sudden my clothes are falling off me...and my stomach is going further down which is making things much harder to fit....

I wear Spanx when I go out and find myself hiking my pants up all the time but they are okay around the stomach area...Same with shirts.....Really loose at the top and fitting snuggling on the tire.....I look very funny I think...

When I was fatter at least I was smooth...I get anxious over the clothes issue. Seems I am just renting them. Then in a few weeks I send them back.....Oh dear me!

I'm experiencing this. Plus styles that were once my go-to now don't flatter my new shape...unless I wear lots of undergarments to recreate my former shape, which in this heat...HOT.

Don't have much to offer but understanding. Hopefully someone will be able to give some advice soon.

I am evaluating which of my pieces is worth altering to avoid a huge wardrobe investment until I reach goal. It was said to me I could lose one size per month, but to save $ for undergarments, not clothes. So I pulled out my sewing machine and will start with the easiest alterations in my opinion : pants and slacks. I'll let you know how it goes.

Wow! I wish I had your talent! I should take a sewing class.

I have so many different sizes in my closet I'm trying to use what I have. I also don't mind baggy shirts, but I hate baggy and loose pants.

I came in to work today with a bag full of (new and gently worn) clothes from my coworker. She had RnY earlier this year and is passing along clothes so I don't have to buy. I love her so much for this!

Such a great surprise and much needed.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
